    Were you in on the Misha Collins + John Barrowman + Nathan Fillion photoshoot? If so, I’m incredibly envious of that opportunity!

    1. renatoram says:
      29 April, 2013 at 8:21 am

      Wow! What was the official name of the photoshoot event?

      “Fueling Slashfics for Fun and Profit?”

      ^___^

    28 April, 2013 at 7:22 pm

    Are you *sure* he’s just on Anne’s sexception list? 😉

  10. Jennifer Newell says:
    28 April, 2013 at 7:22 pm

    But was he holding TWINE?!

    1. Lizzie Ann says:
      28 April, 2013 at 10:18 pm

      Thank you for asking!!!!!

    2. Megan Kresge Rath says:

      This is exactly what I was going to ask as soon as I saw Fillion!

    Are those bells and fireworks I hear and smell? No, wait, the alarm behind us is going off and – yes – it appears that smell is actually a real fire. Yep, the roof is literally on fire here in Calgary. Everyone except the Game of Thrones marathon has chosen to leave the building instead of being engulfed in a conflagration this reporter hasn’t seen since http://www.flyingbuffalo.com/nucwar.htm

    (PS Holy cow, an old classic has an iphone app with Claudia Christian talking in Russian accent?!? – there’s an accidental #TableTop hook)

    I can’t decide which of you wonderful men are luckier. You just made the world a sweeter place.

    And lo, the many ships were launched precisely at this moment.

  14. Heather Brooks says:

    Hmm… I’m not sure who I’d rather switch places with. 😉

  15. Matthew Chapman says:

    You and Fillion definitely have more chemistry than Fillion and Stana Katic.

    My two favourite nerd men in one place. Be still my fangirl heart.

  18. Kelley McCown Huebner says:

    So awesome. But it would have been even better if he had been holding twine.

  19. Pip R. Lagenta says:
    28 April, 2013 at 8:56 pm

    Of all the fire alarm bells, I like the red ones best.

  20. Logan England says:
    28 April, 2013 at 9:05 pm

    You’re not that special, bub. I also saw pics of him canoodling with Misha Collins. Fillion’s milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

      PAHAHAHAHA!

  21. Jerome Davis says:

    Not to be Mal-licious, but looks like you’re not finding much Serenity here. Maybe you should have him on Table Top. I’m sure he’d love Castle Defense games… or maybe he’s more into some Vigilante Justice… or a good old detective game… maybe he can Clue people in to some stuff.

    I was lucky enough to get Wil to sign a couple of cards for Cards Against Humanity. https://twitter.com/davidlane/status/328733633856798720 (forgive the typo in the tweet)

    Wil, your panel was awesome… especially the words of wisdom you spoke to Violet, a Nerd-in-Training at the end.
    A women sitting in my row at the panel asked Wil to speak to her newborn daughter (via video recording) about why it is awesome to be a nerd. Get the tissues. Srsly.

      This is great! Thanks for sharing it! And Wil, you nailed it. Thanks!

    Fillion/Wheaton WIN! Two of my favorite nerd boys in one place… can a fangirl (actually fanoldlady) be any happier? I think not.

  26. Melissa Treece Tucker says:
    28 April, 2013 at 10:29 pm

    Please, please, please, please, please, please, pretty please, have him on Tabletop! Would absolutely love to see the two of you interact!

    1. Robin Hudson says:
      28 April, 2013 at 10:58 pm

      ooo! Yes! Yes!

  27. Alan Oursland says:
    28 April, 2013 at 11:11 pm

    It’s not Barrowman and Marsters but I’ll take it.

    I mean… uh… something else.

    Hey! What’s that over there?

  28. seekul says:
    28 April, 2013 at 11:24 pm

    Well why don’t you just MARRY HIM THEN????
    Because you totally should be able to IF YOU WANTED.
    Except for the bigamy thing, but OTHER THAN THAT I MEAN!!!! 😉

    T’was cool seeing you guys around the expo, safe travels home!

    When the Captain aims to misbehave, he AIMS to misbehave.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 🙂

    The Captain is so shiny.

    Oh, I hate you now! I would want my freshly shaven cheek smacked by Nathan. You didn’t even shave! Patten would be ashamed of you!

  32. Shellie Patterson says:
    29 April, 2013 at 6:11 am

    Awwww – you to make such a cute couple! Does Ann know? 🙂

    I went to college with Nathan, here in Edmonton. He’s a really fun guy with a great sense of humor… and it looks like you two are have fun!!!

    Meme worthy.

    I just *LOVE* Nathan, but he never kisses me. You should feel honored. 🙂

  39. Erica Burns says:

    and all of the internets just swooned with jealousy

    Wil,

    I doubt you remember me (http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2012/06/video-qa-post-for-denver-comicon.html#comments), but I was the one that pointed out that you were a dick last year at the Phoenix comic-con. Rather than admit it and apologize, you listened to lemmings tell you that I was dick for pointing out that you were a dick in Phoenix. If that is the sign of a dick–aren’t you a dick for having the “don’t be dick” rule?

    Regardless, I see you are coming back to Phoenix this year (despite the fact that you implied you weren’t going to). Hopefully, this year you will leave the self-entitled, self-righteous attitude (and entourage) in Burbank, where it belongs. Honestly, I would love to see you this year as I first thought you were, a nice guy. But, seeing that you changed the name of “Story Time” to “Awesome Hour,” I don’t have high hopes. Not that I had high hopes, because apparently others have seen the same dickish behavior from you:

    http://rbodine.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/wil-wheaton-is-violating-wheatonslaw-dick-hypocrite/ (be sure to read the comments)

    http://stfuwilwheaton.tumblr.com/

    http://www.glossynews.com/artman/publish/wil-wheaton-megalomaniac-1168.shtml

    http://www.zam.com/forum.html?forum=4&mid=109061660579822116&h=50

    Sadly, based on my own personal experiences last year and the foregoing other examples, it has become clear why Hollywood keeps asking you to play a dick (e.g., Big Bang Theory and Eureka).

    Seriously, come have fun in Phoenix this year — just don’t be a dick, like last year. Please change my second impression of you.

    Sincerely,

    Lilith

      It always saddens me when people go off the deep end because they can’t make the connections they think they are entitled to make. There’s so many other things in life to enjoy and be happy about. Why waste energy on the ones the universe won’t let you control? Not everyone is going to have the same relationship with the same people in this world. Life is much healthier when you connect with the ones that ARE reciprocal. JMUO.

    I WANT both of your signatures on my huge pregnant belly! Let me clarify that… I will be 37 weeks pregnant when the two of you come to the Ottawa Comicon oh-so-soon, it will all depend on if I haven’t popped by then, if my swollen feet allow me to get there or if anything happens to your Meemaa. Daaaaamn so many IFS!!!
